In the aftermath of my automobile accident, my 4Runner was towed to Terrace, British Columbia, a small city near Prince Rupert. We held a small memorial service, with music provided by the staff of Pronto Towing. Click here to watch the video.
Improvements to the sound quality and other details will happen after I return to the U.S. and gain access to a normal keyboard. Incidentally, if you’re ever in Latin America, and you’re trying to type the @ symbol, you have to hold Alt, then hit 6, then 4. Crazy, but true!
I’m updating this post from an Internet Cafe in Bogota. I edited the funeral video on my laptop in my hotel room. The world is truly an amazing place! And if you’re not already convinced, check this out!
Glaciers, the Northern Lights, Helicopter Rides, Colombian – er – Columbian Coffee… It’s all coming during the month of October!

@ . The Alt 6 + 4 worked on a normal keyboard, too. When do we get to see pictures of the new ride?

At least we were able to give a proper goodbye. Photos of the replacement vehicle are coming soon. I can tell you one thing man, the replacement vehicle is nowhere near as reliable as the 4Runner was.
